Mechanochemistry Unveiled: Non-Covalent Interactions, Cocrystals, and Polymorphism in Cyclorhodation Reactions

ABSTRACT: Systematic investigations into the mechanochemical metal-catalyzed functionalization of C–H bonds have showcased its efficacy in chemical synthesis, surpassing traditional solution-based protocols.[1] Despite this progress, the mechanistic details underlying C–H bond activation in mechanochemical conditions remain poorly understood. This presentation delves into the mechanochemical synthesis of rhodacycles via ball milling of N-substrates and [Cp*RhCl2]2 in the presence of NaOAc. Notably, our study unveils through ex-situ and in-situ instrumental analyses the formation and polymorphic transformation of cocrystal intermediates between substrates and the rhodium dimer preceding the C–H activation step.[2] Furthermore, computational investigations have elucidated the stability and reactivity of these cocrystals towards acetate ion-mediated reactions. [3-4] By shedding light on these mechanistic nuances, our research advances the understanding and potential applications of mechanochemical C–H activation processes. REFERENCES  [1] S. Ni, M.
